The 5th annual Biker Belles ride, with title sponsor Harley-Davidson, takes place on Tuesday, August 6th and is the Sturgis rally’s preeminent celebration of women in motorcycling. The day begins with an inspiring symposium of leading industry women, including Shelly Rossmeyer (co-owner of Bruce Rossmeyer’s Harley Davidson at Destination Daytona), Cris Sommer-Simmons (Motorcycle Hall of Famer), Vicky Sanfilipo (safety advocate), and celebrity rider Kristy Swanson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) among others, at the Lodge at Deadwood. A beautiful ride through the canyons of the Black Hills follows, leading to a special catered reception, fashion show featuring Harley-Davidson Motorclothes and auction at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip.
“We’re proud to be supporting women riders by hosting one of the largest women focused rides in the country,” said Rod Woodruff of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. “We are pleased that Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona Harley-Davidson and Builder Jessi Combs have risen to the occasion to make this year’s Biker Belle’s Ride more impactful than ever.”
The magnificent Softtail Slim Harley-Davidson will be transformed by Jessi with the support of industry donors including, Avon Tyres, Bruce Rossmeyer’s Harley-Davidson, Klockwerks Kustoms, Legend Air Suspension, LGE&CTS, Mangaflow, PPG Paint and Ride Wright Wheels. This one of a kind Biker Belles Bike will be auctioned for charity during the special rider’s reception at the Russ Brown Event Center at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip on August 6th. The live auction is open to the public. The transformative work will be featured on two episodes of All Girls Garage scheduled to air on Velocity TV August 24th and September 7th with the last episode being filmed on site and the Buffalo Chip.
